Hi and thanks for the query,
The system becomes used to a particular drug after being taken for some time. It is true however that this differs from drug to drug. the symptoms you describe are the common withdrawal symptoms with most drugs. It is however important to establish the fact that you never had these symptoms before taken the drugs, or before stopping the drug.
